Clinton <strong>County</strong> Grants (Above) The Crossing <strong>of</strong> Clinton <strong>County</strong> students are given a second chance to complete their high school education by attending the recently formed alternative school. The Clinton <strong>County</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> provided The Crossing with partial funding to help purchase a copy machine, laptop, school supplies and s<strong>of</strong>tware that monitors student progress. (Above) Benches were installed along the disc golf course at the Clinton <strong>County</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> for Youth Camp Cullom. The benches provide disc golfers and hikers a place to rest. Grant money from the Clinton <strong>County</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> provided partial support to purchase and install the benches. (Above) New ventilation fan motors were installed to provide ventilation for the residents <strong>of</strong> the Clinton <strong>County</strong> Humane Society. A grant from the Clinton <strong>County</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> provided funding to purchase the motors and improve the environment for the animals. “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank 34
